No need to check the return value of this function, just keep going and
ignore it as there's nothing to do and kernel code should not do
different things based on the output of any debugfs calls.

Also, this check is totally wrong and doesn't do what you think it is
doing...

Again, no need to check anything, just pass the result of a debugfs call
back into another one just fine.

Again, this isn't checking what you think it is, so please don't do it.
